Strategy
Setting direction, choosing what not to do, and turning a strategy document into something the organisation actually executes.
Bought at these levels
L5 Senior L6 ExecutiveWhat we list, and what we do not
Facilitated strategy sessions, executive and board off-sites, strategy cascades into the operating layer, review and refresh of an existing strategy, and the discipline of choosing what the organisation will not do.
Not management consulting. A facilitator on this register runs the room and makes your team do the thinking. If you want somebody to go away and write the strategy for you, that is a consulting engagement and a different purchase.
What companies ask for
Choosing between opportunities with real trade-offs
Cascading strategy to the operating level
Reviewing strategy without rewriting it
Three situations this gets bought for
- The annual planning off-site
Two or three days out of the building with the executive team, and a decision needed at the end of it rather than a document. The most common strategy booking and usually the one with a fixed date already in the diary. - The strategy that has not moved
It was signed off, printed and nothing changed. This is cascade work, not strategy work, and it often needs the team-building discipline alongside it. Worth flagging in the brief so we send you somebody who can do both. - The trade-off nobody will name
Two divisions, one budget, and a decision that has been deferred for a year. This needs a facilitator with enough standing to be told to sit down and not sit down. Tell us the seniority in the room.
